What is compression? Why is this term used in the packaging industry?
Compression is a force that paper and packaging products experience during storage and transportation especially when they are stacked on above the other.
When manufacturers produce goods, they store the same in warehouses. This not only helps them manage the lot properly by stacking the packages / cartons/ filled corrugated boxes one above the other but also ensures neatness in the warehouse. With a lot of benefits, this process has some problematic areas as well. What are they? Well…Sometimes the weight of the packages that are stacked above the lower layer is more than it actually tolerates. Similarly, when these packages are transported from one location to another they are properly packed and then stacked in a vehicle which can lead to the same issue.
Effect of Compression of packaging products
If the box cannot tolerate more weight, it will get compression with the heavy weight on it. This will not only damage the quality of the packaging but will also ruin the quality of the product which is packed inside. To safeguard the quality of the final goods until it reaches the end customers, it is the duty of the manufacturers and distributors to protect the quality of the products. This is possible when they use high-quality, premium and durable packaging.
How to ensure the durability and compression resistance strength of packagings?
To test the quality of the packaging products, manufacturers use high-quality testing machines. These testing machines are designed using national and international standard test procedures and guidelines which ensures precise and accurate results. This implies that once you purchase these test machines you can rely on them completely to scrutinize the quality of the raw materials and finished products.
Best Testing Machine for Packaging Industries - Box Compression Strength Tester
To test the quality of the paper and packaging products, manufacturers use high-quality testing instruments. One of the renowned testing machines is the Box compression tester. The testing instrument helps to measure the maximum load a package material or a corrugated box can tolerate to its maximum without getting deformed or ruptured.
How does the testing machine work?
The box compression tester comprises two compression plates between which a sample is first placed. Then the upper plate is moved down towards the sample to apply a gradual compression force on the sample until it fails. The test results that we obtain from the machine helps to obtain a force deformation curve i.e. how much compression force a sample can easily resist and at which pressure and weight it will get deformed.
This information, once collated, is mentioned on the boxes so that a layman or labor who is involved in the loading and unloading of goods and stacking of the cartons at warehouses will not stack more weight on the boxes.
If you want to buy a high-quality box compression tester for your manufacturing unit, Pacorr has the right solution for you. Pacorr Testing Instruments comes with high-quality testing machines that can be used in all production verticals to test the quality of the raw materials and finished goods.
